"Why do we continue to import people who hate us? Not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world."

The proposed measure, dubbed the MAMDANI Act, would make individuals inadmissible to the United States if they advocate for or are affiliated with a range of political movements that include Chinese communism, Marxism, and Islamic fundamentalism.

Ken Paxton's challenge to four-term incumbent John Cornyn in Texas has evolved from a scare into a deadly threat, reflecting a major turn to the far right in the Lone Star GOP.

Martha, I think most people are economic voters. I think they're pocketbook issue voters, which is why we need to be speaking to them. And the one thing that we've made very plain is because of the things we did last summer, they're going to have more money in their pockets.

I predict that Representative Thomas Massie will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman in the long and fabled history of the United States Congress, even worse than Crazy Liz Chaney, Cryin' Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie Traitor Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown under stress!).

Were it not for threats of retaliation from Trump and a heavy White House lobbying campaign, he estimated "30 or 40" Republicans would have broken ranks.

Trump weighed in with a social media post, telling them "There can be NO CHANGES at this time." "We will work together in good faith to address the issues that have been raised, but we cannot have another long, pointless, and destructive Shutdown that will hurt our Country so badly - One that will not benefit Republicans or Democrats. I hope everyone will vote, YES!," Trump wrote on his social media site.
